THE THINGS WE LOVE THIS MONTH

↑ THEATRE

5 GUYS CHILLIN’

Created from interviews with five people and informed by more than 50 hours of material from guys found through Grindr and other social media networks, 5 Guys Chillin’ is an original look at a drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of chem-sex, hook-up apps and instant gratification. Winner of the Brighton Fringe Award for best LGBTQ theatre 2016, the show has been heralded as an important look at the relatively new scene. Fresh from its award-winning run at the King’s Head Theatre and Brighton Fringe Festival, it will now be staged at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. edfringe.com
